@bascule@SwiftOnSecurity@sergeybratus not saying it isn't silly, just saying their blog post response is terrible. "LEO use HS too!!!1!11" -
@thegrugq@SwiftOnSecurity@sergeybratus yeah that part was dumb -
@bascule@SwiftOnSecurity@sergeybratus and the lying by numbers makes them look very shady. -
@thegrugq@SwiftOnSecurity@sergeybratus I think the way the@WIRED article is written, it exaggerates the numbers

@bascule@thegrugq@jtremback@swiftonsecurity Caveat: I only saw Wired article, not the talk. It's hard to deduce what was measured & why. -
@sergeybratus@thegrugq@JTremback@SwiftOnSecurity if they put out a paper it'd be interesting to read -
@bascule@thegrugq@jtremback@swiftonsecurity Indeed. The paper would need to prominently contain a careful discussions of metrics.
